I think I posted about this somewhere on the forum a couple of weeks ago when I found this offer - I was a bit sceptical about how they would look when they arrived at that price.. Well now mine have arrived I have honestly NEVER seen such good quality rhubarb crowns at such a ridiculously LOW PRICE - this must be a mistake or a loss leader. You can see pictures in the google drive links below.
Please let as many people know as possible 'cos I'm sure Hayloft will take down the offer soon

These plants must be at least 12 months old - I mean look at the size of them! Within 2 days of planting mine are already throwing out new leaves. I have since ordered 20 more crowns to plant over my allotment.

    Have you seen the pictures - they were really big - growing now really well - should get a good crop in the summer. They're better than any I've seen for sale at nurseries near me

    I would desist from picking this summer, let them build up a good root system and settle in. Picking this year may weaken the plants

    Just be patient
